Picture this: you're running a small business and you just can't seem to get your hands on the materials you need, in the quantities you need, when you need them. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? We absolutely get it, and we're here to commiserate and share our experiences.
Join us for a fascinating conversation with John Mason Brink from the Appetite for Construction podcast, who's been embroiled in a master bathroom remodel for the last five months due to these exact challenges. We'll be sharing insights on the nuances of ordering materials, overcoming roadblocks, and the critical role of communication with suppliers.
In the plumbing world, supply and vent issues are abound. We talk about how supply and demand dictate material availability and share some of our own tricks of the trade like using polypropylene reducers for short vent issues. We also highlight our experiences with 636 pipe, CPVC adapters, and stainless steel as alternatives to PVC.
Don't miss our chat about the unexpected surprises and costs that come with boiler inspections and the importance of having access to emergency materials. And, as we look forward to the changing seasons, we discuss the impact of supply and demand shifts on material availability. This is a conversation that will provide you priceless insights into the world of small business challenges and how to navigate them. You wouldn't want to miss it!
